This film was devised and presented by Asif Khapedi. Asif is a member of COPA90’s Creators Network, which comprises all of COPA90’s presenters and contributors.

Asif’s film shows how, for many in the region, the Palestine Cup represents unity and resistance in the face of intimidation and oppression. He wanted to tell the story of the way society shapes football and football shapes society; of how the culture of resistance seeps into the stands and onto the pitch.

This film was funded by our newly launched Creator Commissions
initiative. Each month, there is a grant of up to £1000 accessible to any COPA90 fan and filmmaker to tell a story they feel the football community should know about.
